TRAINING  INSTITUTE. 

Charlotte,  N.  C.,  May  ist,  1888. 
The  undersigned  begs  leave  to  submit  the  following  report  of  his 
proceedings  as  Superintendent  of  the  Thompson  Orphanage  : 

Since  my  connection  with  the  work  I  have  received  from  all 
sources  the  sum  of  $4,212.92,  of  which  the  sum  of  $2,969.50  has 
been  raised  for  the  support  of  the  institution,  and  $1,243.42  for  the 
building  fund.  The  total  expenditures  have  been  $2,730.01,  leav¬ 
ing  a  balance  of  $239.49  for  current  expenses,  at  the  beginning  of 
another  year. 

I  herewith  submit  an  account  of  the  sums  received,  marked 
Schedule  “A.”  and  those  expended  marked  “B.”  Of  the  sums 

paid  out,  about  four  hundred  dollars  was  for  repairs  and  building, 

\ 

and  about  five  hundred  dollars  for  furniture  and  such  supplies  as 
will  last  for  some  years. 

We  now  have  thirty  children  in  the  institution,  and  the  building  is 
full.  I’  estimate  the  expense  of  supporting  the  Orphanage  with  this 


number,  as  follows  : 

Salary  of  Superintendent . $  800  00 

“  “  Matron .  300  00 

“  Matron’s  Assistant .  120  00 

“  Foreman  of  the  Farm .  240  00 

Thirty  Children  at  $60  Each . 1,800  00 

Teacher  .  . .  100  00 


$3,360  00 

Deduct  the  probable  proceeds  of  the  farm .  5°°  00 

Leaving  balance . $2,860  00 


We  are  greatly  in  need  of  an  endowment  large  enough  at  least  to 
cover  the  salary  of  the  Superintendent  and  other  employes  of  the 


institution.  It  is  very  embarrassing  to  be  compelled  to  solicit  funds 
for  one’s  own  support.  If  such  an  endowment  was  secured,  there 
would  be  but  little  difficulty  in  procuring  the  funds  necessary  to 
support  the  children,  as  our  people  and  the  public  generally  will 
cheerfully  contribute  for  that  purpose. 

I  have  based  my  estimate  of  the  cost  ot  providing  for  the  chil¬ 
dren  upon  the  supposition  that  they  will  be  supplied  with  clothing 
by  the  women  of  the  diocese.  This  can  be  done  with  little  trouble 
if  each  parish  and  mission  will  send  us  a  box  of  clothing  once  or 
twice  a  year,  as  many  have  done  heretofore.  There  is  a  debt  of 
about  $1,600  on  the  property.  $1,000,  with  interest  for  two  or  three 
years,  is  owing  to  the  diocese,  and  a  lien  encumbers  the  property 
so  that  the  deeds  for  part  thereof  cannot  be  completed.  The  bal¬ 
ance  is  now  due  by  the  Trustees  of  the  diocese  to  the  orphanage, 
the  amount  having  been  advanced  by  the  Superintendent  out  of  the 
building  fund  to  pay  off  a  debt  upon  the  property,  he  taking  an 
obligation  in  the  nature  of  a  lien  on  the  land  for  the  same.  These 
debts  should  by  all  means  be  paid  off,  as  they  seriously  cripple  the 
growth  and  usefulness  of  the  institution. 

The  progress  of  the  work  of  the  orphanage  has  so  far  been  satis¬ 
factory  in  all  respects.  The  children  have  been  uniformly  healthy, 
and  have  greatly  improved  in  mind  and  character.  The  average 
intelligence  is  good,  and  a  more  promising  set  of  boys  and  girls 
can  hardly  be  found  anywhere  in  the  country.  Their  moral  and 
religious  training  is  closely  attended  to,  and  they  already  begin  to 
show  the  result  in  their  appearance  and  deportment. 

It  has  been  a  source  of  much  labor  and  care  to  the  Superintend¬ 
ent  to  provide  the  means  of  support  for  this  institution.  But  the 
task  has  been  a  grateful  one  on  account  of  the  cheerful  assistance 
he  has  received  everywhere  from  the  people  of  the  State.  The 
bulk  of  what  has  been  given  has  been  contributed  in  small  amounts, 
though  some  few  persons  of  means  have  contriubted  larger  sums. 

My  plan  has  been  to  try  to  secure  regular  contributions,  by 
inducing  persons  to  agree  to  give  something,  however  small,  each*4' 
month  for  the  support  of  the  orphanage.  A  few  dozen  subscrip¬ 
tions  in  each  congregation,  ranging  from  twenty-five  cents  to  one 
dollar  per  month  will,  with  the  offerings  on  Thanksgiving  Day,  go 


very  far  towards  its  support.  Another  excellent  plan  is  to  have  a 
guild  in  each  congregation  whose  members  will  agree  to  do  some¬ 
thing  for  the  institution  each  month.  One  such  guild  has  been 
organized  in  Tarboro,  called  the  "Thcmpson  Orphanage  Guild,” 
which  contributed  nearly  three  hundred  dollars  last  year  ;  and  one 
•  in  Christ  Church,  Raleigh,  called  “The  St.  Agnes  Guild,”  com¬ 
posed  of  young  people  and  children,  contributed  more  than  one 
hundred  dollars. 

The  women  of  the  diocese,  as  might  have  been  expected,  have 
done  a  noble  part  by  this  institution.  In  addition  to  their  liberal 
contributions  in  money,  they  have  been  untiring  in  their  labors, 
collecting  subscriptions  and  procuring  supplies  in  the  way  of  cloth- 
bedding,  etc.  Many  branches  of  the  Woman’s  Auxiliary  have 
contributed  in  this  way,  and  I  have  received  quite  a  number  of  val¬ 
uable  contributions  from  beyond  the  State.  I  estimate  that  the 
supplies  in  kind  that  have  come  from  all  these  sources,  in  addition 
to  the  money,  will  amount  to  at  least  one  thousand  dollars  in  value. 

I  should  be  glad  to  publish  with  this  report  an  itemized  statement 
ot  all  the  contributions,  with  the  names  of  the  parties  contributing, 
but  the  list  would  be  so  long  as  to  entail  considerable  expense.  But 
I  will  use  this  occasion  to  thank  all  who  have  assisted  in  this  noble 
work,  and  to  beg  that  they  will  continue  to  aid  us,  assuring  them 
that  so  long  as  1  am  connected  with  it,  I  will  do  my  best  to  make 
a  wise  and  judicious  use  of  the  means  they  entrust  to  my  care,  so  as 
to  advance  the  welfare  of  man  and  the  glory  of  God  our  Savior.

REV.  E.  A.  OSBORNE 

SUPERINTENDENT 


CHARLOTTE,  N.  C. 

The  Hirst  Printing  and  Publishing  Company 


the 


and  training  Institute 


In  making  this  second  annual  Report  as  Super¬ 
intendent  of  the  Thompson  Orphanage,  I  am 
impressed  with  a  sense  of  profound  gratitude  to 
Almighty  God,  who,  by  His  good  providence  has 
been  pleased  to  favour  and  prosper  the  work  even 

beyond  our  expectations,  and  to  shield  it  from  any 
disaster. 

Our  children,  30  in  number,  have  been  blessed 
with  good  health.  The  spiritual,  moral,  intellectual 
and  practical  training  of  the  children,  has,  in  the 
main,  been  satisfactory  and  encouraging,  and  they 
show  marked  improvement  in  every  respect,  and 
are,  without  exception,  so  far  as  I  can  say,  happy 
and  contented. 

Our  farming  operations  are  now  tolerably  well 
organized  and  equipped,  and,  I  hope,  will  become 
year  by  year  more  profitable,  both  financially  and  as 
a  training  school  for  the  children. 

We  have  employed  a  teacher  for  about  ten 
months  during  the  year,  so  that  the  children  could 
be  taught  a  portion  of  each  day  when  not  at  work. 
We  have  been  enabled  to  complete  a  comfortable 
eight  room,  two  story  residence  for  the  Superin¬ 
tendent,  and  also  a  very  good  two  story  barn ;  to 
put  a  good  wire  fence  around  the  main  building  of 
the  institution,  and  also  to  fence  a  large  piece  of 
bottom  land  for  pasturage,  which  will  not  only 
reduce  the  expense  of  keeping  our  cows,  but  also 


4 

be  a.  source  of  some  little  revenue  to  the  institution. 

The  people  of  the  state  have  manifested  much 
interest  in  the  Orphanage,  and,  as  its  benefits  have 
not  been  confined  to  our  own  Diocese,  neither  have 
the  contributions.  Quite  a  number  of  parishes  and 
individuals  of  East  Carolina  have  given  liberally 
towards  our  support.  We  have  also  received  a 
number  of  contributions  from  other  states. 

As  our  usefulness  has  been  extended,  so  have 
our  expenses  increased.  The  account  shows :

Sale  of  Cotton .  150  oo

But  it  is  very  important  for  us  to  have  some  addi¬ 
tional  building's,  in  order  that  our  work  mav  become 
more  effective. 

One  thing  we  need  most  urgently  is  an  infirmary. 
We  have  no  suitable  place  for  our  sick,  and  in  case 
of  contagion  the  whole  school  is  at  the  mercy  of  the 
disease.  A  comfortable  apartment  could  be  built 
for  about  $600.  We  also  need  an  industrial  hall, 
where  various  kinds  of  mechanical  operations  can 
be  carried  on,  wfith  an  apartment  for  a  play  room 
for  the  children  in  bad  weather.  This  building 
would  cost  about  $1000.  A  chapel  is  also  very 
much  needed.  At  present  we  hold  services  in  the 
school  room,  but  it  is  dificult  to  impress  children 
with  proper  ideas  of  reverence  and  devotion  under 
such  circumstances.  If  we  had  a  chapel  that  would 
cost  about  $ 1000  we  could  build  up  a  small  congre¬ 
gation  around  the  Orphanage,  and  the  benefit  to  the 
children  would  be  incalculable. 

We  also  need  printing  material  in  order  that  we 
may  publish  a  paper  and  train  some  of  the  children 
in  the  art  of  printing  This  would  be  of  great 
practical  service  to  the  orphanage  in  many  ways 
besides  the  training  of  the  children.  The  experience 
of  other  institutions  has  proven  that  a  paper  pub¬ 
lished  by  the  institution  not  only  pays  expenses,  but 
gives  a  surplus  to  the  concern.  A  good  outfit  will 
cost  about  $500. 

Our  great  need  is  an  endowment.  Our  people 
have  generally  responded  very  readily  to  every 
appeal  I  have  made,  and  no  doubt  they  will  continue 
to  do  so.  But  an  institution  of  so  much  importance 


6 


as  this,  should  be  placed  upon  a  more  certain  foot¬ 
ing  than  to  depend  entirely  upon  voluntary  contri¬ 
butions  for  its  existence.  It  is  especially  important 
that  the  salary  of  the  superintendent  and  other  em¬ 
ployees  should  be  provided  for  by  an  endowment. 
This  would  always  secure  an  efficient  head  ;  and 
then  the  rest  of  the  means  for  the  support  ol  the 
institution  could  be  easily  provided  for,  as  people 
will  always  contribute  for  the  wants  of  children,  if 
there  is  a  reliable  and  efficient  person  to  represent 
the  work,  and  see  that  the  funds  contributed  are 
properly  applied.  T  he  Board  of  managers  have 
passed  a  resolution  asking  the  Convention  to  set 
apart  a  portion  of  the  Mary  Ruffin  Smith  legacy 
for  this  purpose  It  would  be  difficult  to  conceive 
of  a  more  fitting  use  to  which  it  could  be  applied. 

I  desire  to  acknowledge  with  much  thankfulness 
the  unvarying  kindness  that  has  been  shown  me, 
personally,  both  by  our  ministers  and  laity  in  this 
work.  To  their  bounty  and  generous  support  the 
church  is  indebted  for  whatever  measure  of  success 
has  been  attained.  Many  guilds  and  societies  have 
been  formed,  and  through  their  devoted  and  self 
denying  labors  much  has  been  done  for  the  work. 
And  in  those  congregations  where  these  organiza¬ 
tions  have  not  been  formed,  other  efficient  means 
have  been  adopted  for  aiding  the  cause. 

We  are  greatly  indebted  to  the  Woman’s  Aux¬ 
iliary,  both  in  the  State  and  out  of  it,  for  money  and 
supplies.  Through  the  instrumentality  of  this 
organization  we  have  been  mainly  furnished  with 
clothing  and  bedding  for  the  children.  We  are  also 
under  many  obligations  to  the  railroads  of  the  state, 
the  Charlotte  Street  Car  Company,  Mr.  J.  W. 


7 

Wadsworth,  merchants  and  lawyers  of  Charlotte  and 
other  towns,  and  to  the  Mecklenburg  Iron  Works, 
for  favors  shown. 

I  hereto  append  a  statement  of  our  receipts  and 
a  brief  summary  ot  the  disbursements  for  the  year, 
regretting  that  my  space  will  not  permit  me  to  men¬ 
tion  each  individual  act  of  kindness  shown:

FOREMAN  OF  THE  FARM. 


THE  THOMPSON  ORPHANAGE 

AND 

TRAINING  INSTITUTE. 


The  history  of  the  institution  during  the  past  year  affords 
abundant  cause  for  gratitude  to  Almighty  God  who  has  shielded 
us  from  disease  and  dealh>  and  put  it  into  the  hearts  of  His 
people  to  provide  for  the  support  of  these  dependent  children  ot 
the  Church,  of  whom  we  now  have  forty-seven.  Twenty-eight 
are  at  Thompson  Hall,  and  nineteen  at  Branson  Hall.  The 
latter  department  is  used  for  small  children. 

Eleven  of  our  children  are  from  East  Carolina.  That  Dio¬ 
cese  contributes  liberally  to  the  support  of  the  Institution,  as  will 
be  seen  from  the  schedule  of  contributions.  This  schedule  is 
referred  to  as  showing  the  sources  by  which  the  Orphanage  is 
supported.  A  number  of  parishes  in  the  diocese  have  complied 
with  the  request  of  the  convention  by  organizing  guilds,  which 
render  efficient  aid  in  carrying  on  the  work.  It  is  greatly  to  be 
desired  that  all  should  do  so,  to  render  the  support  permanent 

and  secure.  ,  „  . 

The  farm  has  paid  well  during  the  past  year,  and  affords 

pleasant  and  healthful  employment  for  the  boys.  I  estimate  its 
products  at  about  $1,000.  involving  an  outlay  of  about  $400, 
giving  a  net  balance  of  about  $600  in  money  and  supplies  for 
the  table.  The  girls  are  taught  such  domestic  arts  as  cooking, 
washing,  sewing  etc.,  but  we  feel  the  need  of  some  other  kinds 
of  industry  in  order  to  fit  them  for  a  higher  sphere  of  usefulness 
and  happiness  than  can  usually  be  procured  by  domestic  labor  m 
this  section  of  our  country,  owing  to  the  competition  of  cheap 
nejro  labor  in  that  line  of  work.  To  this  end  we  recommend 
the  establishment  of  a  steam  laundry,  knitt.ng  factory  or  od 

industry  that  will  give  them  such  training  as  W1 1  en“bl^h^a‘°. 
earn  good  wages  when  they  go  out  to  work,  and  in  the  mean 

time  contribute  in  some  measure  to  the  support  of  the  Orphan3^ 

The  sympathy  and  interest  of  our  people  throughout 


4 


State  have  been  unabated,  and  the  indications  are  that  the  Insti¬ 
tution  is  permanently  and  firmly  established. 

1  he  employees  of  the  Institution  are  faithful  and  conscien¬ 
tious  workers,  and  the  superintendent  attributes  the  success  ot 
the  work  mainly  to  their  devoted  labors.  A  gentleman  of  Char¬ 
lotte  has  kindly  undertaken  to  have  a  chapel  built  on  the  grounds 
ol  the  Orphanage.  This  will  be  an  important  addition  to  the 
work,  and  a  benefit  to  the  neighborhood.  We  still  greatly  need 
an  infirmary  ;  also  an  industrial  hall.  The  former  can  be  built 
for  about  $600,  and  the  latter  for  about  $1,000,  or  less.  They 
would  add  greatly  to  the  efficiency  of  the  work. 

We  are  under  many  obligations  to  persons  in  all  parts  of  the 
State  and  in  other  states  for  kindnesses  and  courtesies  shown  us 
during  the  year.  The  railroads  and  express  company  have 
been  very  kind  and  accommodating.  I  also  desire  to  mention 
with  much  gratitude  the  unceasing  kindness  and  assistance  of  Dr. 
S.  B.  Jones,  our  physician  in  charge,  who  has  always  faithfully 
attended  the  sick  without  compensation.  Drs.  William  Graham, 
Geo.  Graham  and  Alexander  have  been  very  kind  and  helpful 
in  their  special  lines,  and  rendered  much  assistance. 

Nine  children  have  been  discharged  during  the  year,  of  whom 
two  have  nice  h@mes,  where  they  are  happy  and  contented. 
The  others  have  returned  to  their  relatives.  One  of  our  girls  is 
at  Claremont  College,  Hickory,  where  she  has  been  for  two 
terms,  through  the  assistance  of  the  Guilds  in  Charlotte  and 
Hickory,  and  the  generosity  of  the  proprietor  of  the  school. 
She  desires  to  become  a  teacher,  and  Mr.  Sanborn,  after  keeping 
her  two  terms  at  about  half  rates,  is  now  keeping  her  for  the 
present  term  without  charge,  rather  than  to  disappoint  her  aims. 
Two  more  years,  at  $100  a  year,  would  enable  her  to  graduate. 

We  have  received  from  all  sources  during  the  year  .  .  $3,475  24

This  report  covers  only  eleven  months  viz.  from  May  ist, 
1890  to  March  31st,  1891.  The  average  monthly  contributions 
have  been  somewhat  larger  than  heretofore,  and  the  expenses 
somewhat  larger  also.  If  the  contributions  continue  at  the 
present  average,  they  will  barely  support  the  work  at  its  present 
capacity  of  forty-five  children  No  extra  efforts  were  made 
during  the  past  year  to  increase  the  contributions.  I  hope  to 
make  such  efforts  during  the  coming  year  in  order  to  put  the 
work  in  better  shape  for  accomplishing  the  ends  in  view. 

Our  expenses  are  about  $300  a  month,  or  nearly  $100  a 
year  for  each  child. 

Respectfully  submitted  with  the  annexed  schedule  as  part  of 
this  report.
